MSP BugPort Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Surfer Joe: jjjeffr,

If you can fix or verify that this cache is still in place it can be easily unarchived provided the location is still available and still meets the cache hiding guidelines (and since this is located within Fort Snelling State Park, it will need to be registered with the park). For now I am going to archive it. Feel free to contact me through my profile linked below if you fix it.

NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply directly to this email. Instead, send me an email via my geocaching.com profile. Please include a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding.

Thanks for your understanding,

Surfer Joe

Geocache Description:

It’s Not an Airport… It’s a BugPort!

Located in the Big Rivers Regional Park

The purpose of this cache is to provide a bug swap transfer point close to the MSP airport. This cache should provide a quick swap point, especially for that out of town traveler who would like to get in some last minute caching!

While this cache is not located at the airport, from the overlook at the parking lot (located at N44 52.027 W93 10.404), you can watch the planes landing.

Driving Directions from the Airport:
Follow MN Highway 55 East across the river. Turn right on Mendota Heights Rd.

The cache is located approximately 100’ off of the trail, but the typical Geo-Beacon should be easily identified.

Since the purpose of this cache is for bug exchange, I ask that if you take a bug, you leave a bug.

The container is a 1 gallon salad dressing container, so there is plenty of room. The container is appropriately camouflaged.

Initial Contents:

Bugs:
Kelly “Jelly Bean’s” Boyfriend
Happy Snappy
Reddy Bird

Other:
First Finder Certificate
Small Dolls
Baseball
